Notably, ITAP 2019 features a “Learning Journey” on the exhibition hall that guide participants through the process systematically with an aim to narrow the gap in industrial transformation between companies in economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
 
“Learning Journey” – Learning Lab provides live demonstration area to showcase the capabilities and applications of autonomous solutions in intralogistics environment; Robotics Experimental Zone features innovative robotics display and interactive exhibits, showcasing the importance of robotics deployment for use in the manufacturing and logistics space, deepening the understanding on robotics application via talks, presentation sessions and workshops, and showcasing cost-effective and ready-to-purchase solutions developed by local and regional solution providers for the manufacturing sector. 
 
“Learning Journey” – Curated Guided Tours allows attendees to get a cleaner and targeted demonstration on the topics that are most relevant to them. About 150 guided tours will cover 12 industry focused tracks in Oil – Gas – Energy; Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology; Semiconductor – Electronic – Electrical; FMCG – F&B; Aerospace; Logistics & Supply Chain; Chemical; Infrastructure & Facilities; Urban Solutions; Automotive. 
 
“Learning Journey” – Industry 4.0 Technical Tours enables attendees to explore planned locations around Singapore to exemplify some of the best industrial transformation showcases and deployment concepts for Industry 4.0. 
 
Regional companies, therefore, will be able to start, scale and sustain their adoption of Industry 4.0 processes and solutions through ITAP 2019.
